It is well that the people of this country should fully understand not only the magnitude of the area of South American countries, their mar- velous agricultural and mineral and timber resources, their vast rivers and their limitless water-powers and other material things which give the foundation for mighty expansion in industry and commerce, but it is still more important that we should properly ‘understand the spirit of the leading South American countries, which in their development of civil- ization have ‘taken a foremost place in the world in the settlement of dis- putes . by arbitration .and in the de- velopment of the spirit of making America stand for the best thterests of humanity.—Baltimore Manufac- turers’ Record. The decisibn of the customs court that the “five per cent. clause of the Underwood tariff, provid- ing a'rebate of duties on merchandise carried in American bottoms, is valid, but that the same rebate must be givén where the merchandise was carried in the vessel of any “favored nation,” insures a revision of the tar- iff.

The President Is Leader. (New York Heraid.) When the president speaks it will te with the voice of the nation.: He is leader. 'His following embraces the whole of the American people. No president of the United States facing a crisis in international affairs has ever enjoyed the confidence of Americans more fully than does Woodrow Wilson. 1t is confidence built upon the firm foundation of knowledge that the president sees clear, that he thinks as the people think, that when he speaks it will_be from their hearts as well as from his own. There can be no question concerning the temper of the American , people. They want no friendship with Ger- many if this is to be purchased by permission to slaughter Americans on the high seas, or anywhere. They want no friendship with Germany if this is to come at the cost of Amerni- can indorsement of that country’s con- «tention that it has a right to sink ves- sels of commerce and do non-coms tatants to death, no matter what flags those vessels, fly. Thney want no friendship with Germany so long as German torpedoes threaten vessels nf the United States. Unless these things cease, the Untted States cun no longer admit Germany to its friendship, for Germany will be beyond the pale. Efforts to complicate the issue do not fool the American peuple and will not fool President Wilson. The case tfor civilization. which the United States has been called upon to cham- pion—a case vital to the welfare of humanity now and so long as man ehall inhabit this earth—is too large to be befogged by quibbling or en- meshed in the red tape of diplomacy that would kill by delay. Precisely because they know the president will permit neitner of these things to happen, precisely because they know his heart beats right on the -one issue of the controversy with Germany and his mind is bent upon ite right settlement, the American people place their trust in him. And so will they to the end. Police and Politics. (Springfield Repubniican.) The committee on legislation at the convention of the police chiefs, meet- ing in Cincinnati, submitted a report ip which was the following: ‘No police department will honestly cr intelligently perform its several duties unless it has a tenure of office, proper pension laws, and the govern- ment of the same by civil service pro- visions that will enable every man in the department to rise on his own merits and without the interference of pernicious political activity on the rart of those who desire advancement, not for merit but for political pull.” To that conclusion those best. know- ing to the facts long ago came. There can be no efficiency under the “pull” system, and proper results will not be clitained where the head &f a police cepartment is subject to removal with a change of administrations. Spring- field was t6o long in finding out that fact. It used to be argued that the head of the police department must te in sympathy. with the mayor. In tt ose days mayors rose and fell ac- cording as the public deemed the police department well or poorly con- ducted. Now mayors come and go and Chief Quilty can give rull time to engineering our-police work. Where polities controls, the discipline of police’ departments goes by the board and efficiency wanes, if gross dis- honesty does not come in. The Appeal for Frank, (New York Times.) The climax in the case of Leo M. Frank, condemned to death for the murder in April, 1913, of Mary Pha- gan, was reached in the hearing on his petition for a commutation of his sentence to imprisonment for life be- fore the State Prison Commission in Atlanta last Monday. The hearing occupled seven hours, and is without precedent in legal annals. There was no opposition to the petition, which was supported by a letter written be- fore his death by the Judge who had presided at Frank's trial; by the brother of the judge, who set forth the facts which influenced his doubt of Frank’s gullt; by a large number or residents of the State of Georgla, in which, we had been led to suppose, belief in Frank’s guilt was still un- shakable; by ex-Governor Foss of Massachusetts, as head of a committee who had gone to Atlanta to testify to the excellent character of Fr&n( while he was a resident of their state: by a delegation from Chicago; by petitions from responsible citizens of many states. Atlanta clergymen urged the commutation of the sen- tence on the ground that the guilt of the accused had never been clearly proved. Other clergymen from other parts of the state supported the pe- tition. A number of the foremost physicians at Atlanta testified, by affidavit, that Frank had no taint of physical or mental degeneracy. Be- lief to the contrary, founded on false- hood and misunderstanding, had been largely presumption of crime upon him, The statement of Frank’'s patient, affectionate wife, whose testimony had been excluded at his trial, of their mutual relations, of her unbroken faith in him, conclusively denying the assertion that there had been an es- trangement after the arrest of Frank, was straightforward, and its unaffect- ed pathos must have had its due ef- fect on the prison commission. If a second trial had been granted to tense public . excitement which prevailed when he was tried, when, in the words of the late Judge Roan’s brother, “a spirit of ‘“mob violence Atlanta, 'and even entered the court-; room,” all the testimony tavorable to him now in the possession of the pri- son commission would have . been heard, and there is good reason to | belleve that he would have been ac- instrumental in fastening the | Frank, after the subsidence of the in- ! permeated the whole ‘‘atmosphere at ! o AT are mow convlnced of ’lfll wm Throughout, the' country the ‘convic tion is strong’that he is the vietim of legal error. 'In his untorlunute position he asks only the poor’ favor of life imprisonment but hé has never.. wavered in his ass®tion of his com- plete innocence. As we have said, the climax of this case is practically. with- out a -precedent, Innocent men may have been convicted ‘of crime, but never has the case of a prisoner con- demned to death as Frank was for a cruel and shameful murder so strongly stirred up the sympathies of a whole nation. Prussian Victories in England. (New York World.) It must be a day of small men in Britain as well as in Germany. or government would not find time to make war upon a newspaper. The suit against the Times of London for underestimating the . military strength of France seems to be both frivolous anq despotic. If harm was doné by the publication, it is past repair. 1f the prosecution is to be open, the chances are that the mis- chief will be increased. This has been the role that the English Press .Bureau has played from the first. It is just now en- gaged in an attempt to suppress news of the latest Zeppelin visitation, there- by of course increasing the terror which i the principal object of the ralders. In everything that it has undertaken the way of secrecy, misrepresentation and denial it has disheartened friends and encouraged foes, A nation accustomed to free speech and a free press will not in war exert its full power. under such censorship. On the continent in wartime every man is automatically a soldier. In Great Britain armies and their sup- plies depend upon public opinion, and public opinion that is not intelligent serves only to darken counsel. Every concealment of fact, every mutiliated report, every rifled letter, every official falsehood and every newspaper intimidated or silenced is a vigtory for Prussianism that costs it neither lives nor money. These things are usually attributed to an abuse ‘of power. In London they look like evidence of conscious weak- ness. in Naughty Mr. Walsh, (Bridgeport Farmer.) Young Mr. Rockefeller appears to have blinded most of the members of the Industrial Commission with the consciousness of his pomp and wealth. Current newspaper report is prolific in such headings as, “Walsh only member who examines Rockefeller.” A singular bashful- riess on the part of other commission- ers, or a singular failure on Rocke- feller's paft to know anything the commission ought to know. The coun- try even is informed that the other commissioners are disturbed Dbe- cause of the drastic quality of Com- missioner Walsh's questions. It seems these have not been couched in the proper tone of respectful servility. What shquld be done to a Federal commissioner who does not know his proper place, and who presumes to cross examine a leading millionaire as ordinary lawyers question ordinarw defendants? Oh, for the good old days of the Bastile, and the chopping block! Sunday Recreations, (Hartford Post.) The agitation by a number of resi- dents: of West Haven against Sunday entertainments at Savin Rock, while fully within the antiquated Sunday law of Connecticut, gevus 111 advised. They have entered complaints against scme objectionable places of amuse- /ment and now the proprietors of these places propose retaliatory meas- ures which, if carried out will deprive thousands of people who nave only Sunday as a day of recreation and want to spend it at this resort, of that | pleasure, ‘While it is true that there are some ferms of entertainment at Savin Rock which are not just the thing for Sun- dGay there are many otner things that are all right and proper. If the shows complained of are closed tne pro- prietors propose to put a stop to Sun- Gay afternoon and evening concerts and other entertainments and pleas- ureg against which no objection is rezised. They have declared that they will ,complain against everything | which cannot be classed as a ‘work of nrecessity.” This, if persisted in, “‘lll deprive ithe working people and others of only moderate means, of their week-epd recreation. It is hardly just that this should be done. It would seem bet- ter to let two or three attractions, which possibly are objectionable, show op Sunday rather than close them and thus close almost every- thing at the resort. Also, 1t may bg said, if threse attractions are not fit to be seen on Sunday they are. not fit tb be seen op week days and should not befallowed at all, 1 *“The Zeppelins at London. (Springfield Republican.) Thé long-expected attack has come, but it has not taken precisely the form expected and so far as the censor has let out the ‘hews the results must be below fl'}e Germun expectatkms Ac- cordifig t6'the official report, 90 bombs were dropped, killing four persons and wounding an unstated number more. But this small loss of life is probably to be ascribed to the use for the most part of incendiary shells, the main purpose of which is to start conflagrations, and as to the success achieved in this respect the censored report is silent. It will not be very long, of course, before the world knows the full truth; mishaps to ships may be smothered, but a big fire in London could not be kept secret longer than the time re- quired for the next shipload of peo- | ple from England to reach a neutral country. A temporary secreey may be quite proper in order to keep the Germans in the dark, but in any case they will soon be informed through their agents In Holland and else- where. For a spy to collect facts of this_sort is not a difficult matter, This particular sort of attack h 13 u;.;muy Chronicle is fairly obvious that the Zeppe- Jins, at whose somewhat futile visitg we have laughed, are but single spies, Nor-is-there much doubt that before long the battalions will come, armed not with the simple bomb that merely makes a hole in the garden, but with the incepdiary bomb. Twently Zep- pelins each carrying a ton of these fire-raisers if they all arrived together could start some most inconvenient fires in various parts of London sim- ultaneously. If you _have watched the German papers you"will know that Berlin's burning desire is to burn down London. What do You task of the fire brigade (already somewhat thinned by enlistment) Iif called out to cope with the results of 20 tons of highly incendiary bombs eprinkled about London? 1 do not wish to make your flesh creep un-, duly. But as it is quite posgible that a successful raid may raise fires all over London—whao is going to extin- guish them? Not, I imagine, the thousands of quiet London German<« who are watching the signs of the sky from their happy freedom of the |streets. As a matter of precaution it might be well to call up manyiof us who, if not already special constables ought to be, and train us (we are tairly intelligent) to the auxiliary tasks of the fire brigade. Many men unfitted to shouider a rifle are ready and able to deal with a4 hose.pipe. London is by no means so inflam- mable as in the days of the great fire, but neithér is it to be described as fireproof or cven siow-burning, and under the right conditions if even half of 90 bombs took effect the re- sult might be troublesome. But the right condition far a conflagration are just the wrong conditions for a Zep- pelin, which needs calm weather and i depends upon the weather bureau for advite before risking a voyvage. This consideration seriously limits the ef- ficacy of the incendiary bomb, which does relatively little damage unless it starts a serious fire. Its employment is probably to be ascribed not so much to motives of humanity as tu the fact that the radius of a high explosive bomb is short and that the stock which can .be carried is lim- ited, think would be the Sidewaik Skating. (Rochester Post Express.) Inquiry into the attitude of cities toward roller skating on streets and sidewalks shows that there is no uni- formity in treatment. Regulation is not gencral and where attempted it has been from various angles and with different objects in view. In Atlanta both street and sidewalk roller skat- ing are \prohibited and so they are in Cleveland, but in the latter city the prohibition is not enforced. In Kan- sas City both are prohibited outside the parks and the park authorities have authority to permit one or both I if they desire. In Portiand, Ore., | both are prohibited in the inner fire limits and in Spokane they are pro- hibited in certain districts. In Louis- ville skating is permitted on streets and prohibited on sidewalks. In Chi- cago and Hartford the situation |is reversed and skating is prohibited on streets and permitted on sidewalks. In Milwaukee both are permitted up to 8.o'clock p. m. In Ballimore as well as in Pittsburg there is not law on the subject and both are regulated by the police. A proposed ordinance prohibiting skating in streets was not | passed in New York and it is per- mitted to some degree by the police on both pavements and sidewalks. In God We wust. (Waterbury American.) t It is small wonder the European mind fails to grasp the American philosophy of life. Here we are, ap- parently shivering in the verge of the war precipice, yet we have not, of« ficially, taken a step toward the mobil- ization of our siender military re- sources. In Europe, under the same circumstanc mobilization would have accompanied, if it did not pre- cede, diplomatic action. Italy mobil- ized long ago and the noteg she has been receiving from Berlin in the past ten months are markedly different from that which we have just re« ceived. So far from nfobilizing— which in our case would mean little more than summoning‘the militia and calling for volunteers-—we seemingly not even seen fit to the most "élementary precautions.
